Thanks to ransomware as a service (RaaS), prospective attackers can easily equip themselves with the necessary tools and techniques. To help, Trend Micro Research takes a deeper look at most common ransomware families and techniques associated with this growing \u201cbusiness model,\u201d enabling CISOs like yourself to fine-tune your security strategy for a more effective defense.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">What is Ransomware as a Service (RaaS)?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Credited as one of the reasons causing ransomware attacks to grow, RaaS, based on the SaaS model, involves selling or renting ransomware capabilities to buyers (called affiliates). Among the key players in this ecosystem are the operators, those who develop and sell the ransomware. They are usually part of a larger group with designated roles.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in the past where ransomware operators launched the attack themselves, they\u2019re putting their ransomware up for sale to attackers who want to initiate an attack. The more people that purchase the ransomware, the more attacks, and victims.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/ciso\/21\/k\/ransomware-as-a-service-101\/comparison-ransomware-operator-and-raas.png\" alt=\"comparison\"><figcaption>Comparison of direct ransomware operators (left) and RaaS operators (right).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"35.038961038961\">\n<div readability=\"19.363636363636\">\n<p>However, this isn\u2019t a free-for-all. To increase the chances of a big payout, RaaS operators or affiliates are very selective when choosing a target. For example, Trend Micro Research observed many public and private group discussions about avoiding specific countries like Taiwan, due to strict anti-money laundering policies that make it difficult to purchase cryptocurrency to pay the ransom.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Ransomware families used by RaaS operators and affiliates<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The RaaS model has been adopted by most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/21\/k\/build-a-modern-ransomware-protection-strategy.html\">modern ransomware families<\/a>.
